EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph of Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where intellectual prowess and scientific curiosity were celebrated. This remarkable portrait captures the essence of a true pioneer - a Scottish science writer, mathematician, and polymath whose contributions continue to inspire generations. With her frill laced collar and feathered cape or dress adorning her figure, Somerville exudes elegance and sophistication. Her bust is sculpted with meticulous detail, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing her likeness. The engraving brings out every nuance of her expression; a gaze that reflects both wisdom and determination. Somerville's legacy extends beyond this stunning artwork. She made significant strides in academia at a time when women faced countless barriers. Her achievements were so profound that they led to the establishment of Somerville College at Oxford University in her honor. This print serves as a reminder of the power of knowledge and resilience. It encapsulates an era where women like Somerville defied societal norms to pursue their passions fearlessly. As we admire this piece, let us celebrate not only its artistic beauty but also the indomitable spirit it represents - one that continues to inspire future generations to break boundaries and make their mark on history.
